My family and I had such a wonderful time at the Barn. It exceeded our expectations in more ways that one. The personal touches were a nice surprise and the owners were very helpful. We stayed here in December and the barn was decorated with such nice holiday decorations. It is in a great location to Bloomington and Nashville. We made a lot of memories here and hope to return some day.
Our family had such a lovely time staying at the Barn! This property was so cozy and peaceful while being conveniently located to shopping, hiking, and restaurants. The owners couldn’t have been more amazing. They reach out to make sure we had everything we needed! When we arrived they had snacks waiting for our 9 year old daughter. I can not say enough good thing about our time here!
Cute and quaint barn, with added touches made just for us… made our stay even better. Hospitality was perfection! This barn holds so much charm! You can see a lot of thought and love went into making this property feel warm and welcoming. We played games, chatted, and laughed until we cried. Thank you for opening your doors and providing a special place to make wonderful memories.
beautifully appointed space and well equip! The hosts give you privacy, but also are so welcoming and available.
This is such a neat property and the owners are wonderful. We especially loved the snacks they left for us after a very long 12.5 hour drive to Bloomington. We look forward to another stay soon.
This barn was beautiful and we had an amazing time. the decorations and snacks were so sweet and it felt very homely which i loved !! I would definitely come again and recommend to others :)
Great
We had a great time and experience staying in the barn. It was super clean, cozy and also beautifully decorated for Christmas. Made us feel right at home.
One of the best properties I have ever had the pleasure of staying.
The owners went above and beyond for us. They had so many little extra things ready for us, like homemade bread. They couldn't have been better to work with. The owners couldn't have been nicer! Everything we could think of was there for us!
We were visiting our daughter at IU and this property was amazing!! Love all the details the owners put forth to make it feel just like home! Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer but hope to be back soon! Thanks Phil and Linda for a fabulous stay!!
We had a great time!!! Thank you for everything!
My family had a great time staying at the Barn at Briar Ridge. We'd never been to Bloomington, Indiana before and the weater was great. We really enjoyed the barn. The owners were so welcoming. It was so much nicer staying in a home than in a hotel. There was room for everyone and it was great having a kitchen and plenty of space to hang out. The owners left us plenty of snacks and homemade bread and games to play. Before we even left my 18 year old was asking when we could come back and stay here again!
our family had such a great weekend at this beautifully restored barn. The rental is beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, well-appointed, comfortable and welcoming. The owners provided a nice variety of snacks and perfect weather for our visit!
Perfect Barn. Everything was great!!
Beautifully restored two story Red Barn on historical property. Meticulously decorated…magazine quality!! All the ease of home. Very special place for making family memories. Just a few miles from IU.
If you're debating on which property in the Bloomington area to choose, just pick this one! Amazingly appointed property that's very conveniently located with absolutely the best host & hostess. So comfortable and quiet yet very close to attractions, food and entertainment. Phil and Linda even provided us with a charcoal grill, charcoal and starter fluid. Absolutely our best VRBO experience.
Our kids got this barn for Father’s Day for my husband. It was perfect for family time and close to all of our activities.
Awesome place!
This properly is outstanding. Very nicely appointed, comfortable and in a very relaxing, nice quiet location. Feels like out in the country but just minutes from Bloomington. Owners were a pleasure. Highly recommend!
Comfortable, well appointed, exceeded our expectations. A multitude of tasty snacks provided. The pool table was a plus when it rained all day. Several cozy nooks for reading, comfortable recliner and couch for watching TV. Convenient to Bloomington and state parks. We'll be back!
We had a wonderful time at this home! It was very clean, well-kept and a wonderful place to stay for a relaxing weekend. The entire process was super easy! Would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a quiet weekend away from the world!
Barn is an iconic choice for a visit to IU. Close to campus, but out of the real traffic of game day or graduation.
